Highlighted values are higher. LUT counts are shown as published; the LUT4 equivalent is an approximation to compare different LUT types, see how FPGA vendors count logic. Add up to two more devices to this comparison.
Key differences
The XC7K325T has about 19% more logic capacity (326K vs 274K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGTD3 is built from ALMs and the XC7K325T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (137K vs 204K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5AGTD3 has 1,045 variable-precision DSP blocks against 840 DSP slices on the XC7K325T.
Both have transceivers: 18 at up to 10.3125 Gb/s on the 5AGTD3 and 16 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the XC7K325T.
The 5AGTD3 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7K325T with AMD Vivado; open source: openXC7 (experimental) with Project X-Ray.
